About DEFCON
DEFCON (https://defcon.org/) is the world's largest and most influential hacker convention, attracting thousands of cybersecurity professionals, enthusiasts, and hackers from around the globe. Since its inception, DEFCON has been a hub for cutting-edge research, innovative hacking techniques, and a platform for discussing cybersecurity trends and challenges.
The convention features many activities, including workshops, talks, competitions, and networking opportunities. DEFCON 32 promises to be a landmark event, continuing its tradition of fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing within the hacking community.
Guided Hacking's Mission
GuidedHacking.com educates & empowers individuals interested in game hacking and cybersecurity. Through a comprehensive range of tutorials, resources, and community engagement, Guided Hacking provides aspiring hackers with the tools and knowledge needed to understand and navigate the complexities of game security.
"Our mission at Guided Hacking is to make learning game hacking as easy as possible and now with a change of direction, we are very interested in promoting game hacking as something that can be done ethically and still be fun" said the owner of Guided Hacking.
"Sponsoring the 'Game Hacking Community' event at DEFCON 32 aligns perfectly with our mission. We believe that, by approaching game hacking as an academic challenge, and focusing on educational content, we can attract more career minded people that will go out in the world and help secure games in the future. You will find that many young people get into game hacking as kids and later enter the cyber security industry as some of the most talented reverse engineers. The majority of anti-cheat developers started off first as game hackers. So it makes perfect sense for Guided Hacking to help bridge that gap."
Looking Ahead
As DEFCON 32 approaches, Guided Hacking eagerly anticipates the success of this new event at DEFCON and hopes that in future years, or at other hacker conventions there will be more interest in game hacking as something you can do ethically.
Games are one of the most targeted assets by hackers, and while those who defend games have evolved greatly in the past 10 years, the attackers are always outwitting them. Being able to get people excited about defending and protecting online games is something that this event has the power to do.
Game hacking is one of the most sought after topics in the past few years, and something that has been missing from many hacker conventions. The "Game Hacking Community" event is set to be a highlight of this year's DEFCON, offering a unique blend of education, competition, and community building.
If you're attending DEFCON this year, you will find this event right next to the Car Hacking Village:
